“We wanted to give New Yorkers and visitors alike a chance to experience and learn about this unprecedented project in a very hands-on way,” says
AIANY
2013 President Jill N. Lerner, FAIA, of the program. “Through the Speaker Series, the public will have the first direct access to and dialogue with the architects and builders behind Hudson Yards.”

The Hudson Yards development, as rendered here, is slated to be completed in 2015.

The first 5,000 visitors to the exhibit and lecture series will pocket a
postcard set
by paper engineer Keisuke Saka, a part of the “Make City” series of paper crafts which include the cities of New York, London and Tokyo. To RSVP for events, visit

The exhibit will enable visitors to see, for the first time, scale models of the forthcoming Hudson Yards development.
